Kathrine Tomlinson of California Literary Review tries to compare Gallagher’s book to other war literature – she misses the point. Ms Tomlinson has never been in the military or close to war and doesn’t understand that this is not a book about war but a book about soldier’s relationships in war. It’s about what they refer to in the military as esprit de corps. It’s about those personal relationships – looking out for others in your unit regardless of politics. -- Ron Beaseley
